Bibi, the government, ministers w/o number - all said "no preconditions". HA! Never believe anyone in government. It's the same as campaign promises - good for a day only.

..it means that an Israeli has killed another Israeli. No one but the Israeli Court has the right to decide on that matter. Political decisions ( our PM`s included) can not replace the law.

Do not leave an option for more kidnapping or attacks in order to get terrorists out. What is the point of convicting someone to multiple life sentences if they can get out as part of a deal with a 3rd party (in this case the PA, in the last case Hamas)? Enable the courts to impose a death penalty rather than multiple (meaningless) life sentences.

It is a non-starter, whatever pre-conditions Abbas asks and Israel meets, the snake Abbas will demand more. It will make no difference if Israel releases the prisoners or not,it is just a ruse on behalf of the Palestinians, they are not serious about negotiations.

And put your money where the problem is. Words are fine,but actions needed. Giving in to the terrorists (all of them) They take it as a weakness,losing your self respect while the families CRY .

Abbas, WB and Gaza stupid not to talk peace. Don't they realize that Israel would be more than happy to help them progress in economics, business , quality of life, health, etc. All they have to do is stop swarming around like bees, settle down and smell the roses.

BB says :he is defering the decision He had better never to start anyway. Heart breaking to see our wonderful boys ' pictures & the bereaved families looking like beggars ..i.e Begging the PM . Shame on HIM if he goes ahead Throw the bum out if he pursues it.

can it be that lapid learned nothing from olmert, who offered the pals the moon, harmed israel, knew nothing, zero about defensible borders and couldn't care less and buggered up the 2006 war. Lapid learned nothing. I thought that his martial skills, his ability to defend himself would carry over to israel. What kind of peace do you think arabs have in mind? What is going on in syria? Iraq/ Egypt? What an indiot and weakling!

Netanyahu stresses: 'There is heavy price, but not entering talks also exacts price' Our leaders are acting like poodles and BB is the biggest one.. Heavy price ?/excuse me but it has always been so.. You dimwitted man ..Have you not learned from past experience you do not give comfort to the enemy ,you only encourage them to pursue their agenda further. While you give in, our Jewish brothers get MURDERED.. Stop being a fool ,, Another thing you are only exacerbating their demands they ask for more. To everyone here::On the other article the (mumzer) Abu Mazen is warning there will not be a meeting unless & until the release of THE SCUMBAGS I give up ...Not the first time either. It has been the same over & over.

peace treaties that can be broken in seven years, just like the Covenant with Death that lasts seven years that Daniel in Scriptures spoke of. Peace, peace, where there is no peace. Better not to have peace talks that only lead to betrayal of the Israelis' trust. It is a peace treaty that will disarm Israel and lead to the deaths of 2/3 of the nation. The only reason a third of Israel will survive is that YHWH will protect them until He comes to fight for Israel. NO PEACE TALKS. NO PRISONER RELEASES. NONE. NONE. NONE. Relocate the Palestinians to the 50+ Arabic speaking nations and get them out of Israel.

look how much it will save the Israeli Government to keep those prisoners in jail - money well spent elsewhere while sooner or later those released prisoners will be killed because they are a well marked target

they deem so necessary to release prisoners as a pre-condition? Lapid, Yachimovich and Bibi all claim it is good for the country. What is good for the country? I am not cynical neither political. I honestly don't understand. They all claim it is "not easy" but "we must- it is good for the country." Sharon said it too. What was good about his decision?????

You are right unless "Israel" does not exist as a sovereign country, and is really just a ghetto, and our government is nothing more than a Judenrat paid to govern the Jews by a foreign power.

Abbas can of course demand his own people be released but what serious grounds does this man have to demand that Israeli arabs convicted of terror offences in an israeli court have to do with Abbas? Abbas has an oversized ego acting like he is the most powerful man in the world and if he wants something then he is entitled to it and the worst part is even though there is nothing in it for us the Israeli PM is going along with it. If Bibi accepts these demands and release Israeli arab terrorists he will have set a dangerous precedent and proven himself unworthy of being PM any longer. if Abbas wants them out then the condition must be they are stripped of their Israeli citizenship and sent to go live in Ramallah under the rule of king Abbas.

It is good for the country. That is all they say.

Bibi, I feel so sorry for you! You have to take this VERRY-VERRY PAINFUL decision, oh my G-d! And you have to take it knowing full well in advance that NOTHING will come out of these idiotic piece-process talks which for whatever nebulous reason have to be started in NY, 7000 miles away from Jerusalem and Ramalla - just half-hour drive for both so called "parties" to get together - isn't it by itself a great sign of non-starter? Yet you, Bibi, MUST to take this verrry painful decision and show us all what a leper and spineless clown you really are! And why you have to do it? Just to place another kiss on Mr Kerry's bum - for all his tireless moronic efforts to show some results to his boss, the PRIMUS. Abu-Mazen is an arch-terrorist himself, more over he is NOBODY, his term in office ended 3 years ago. So we have to make VERY painful gestures, highly immoral gestures to this nobody in Ramalla - just because we have a nobody in PM's office, a lying chameleon. Where morality is trumpled upon - Munich agreements are the result, and hitlers get free reign to murder at will! I would ask our ministers to remember the Chamberlain laurels, "I've brought you peace!" - when they are voting on this heinous proposal to free bloodthirsty murderers!

The fish smells from the head. And the head is none other than BHO who BB is following like a poodle. And we most certainly know BHO' the (muzzi in disguize) is the culprit in the scheme of things. he BIGGEST culprit. As for abbarse he is just sitting back enjoying the pantomime played without lifting a finger,. And those scumbag Israeli/Arabs no less, release them on condition they are transferred to Gaza and not to Israel ..EVER .

It is a well known fact that to feed the scumbags costs the country through the Jewish tax payers instead of the monies required for our people "TRUE" BUT to give in to this murderers free passage by releasing them is not the answer. On the other forum I suggested if & when they release them ... on one condition i.e relocate them to Gaza where they belong and not in Israel proper. Let then taste the strictures over yonder ,then they may appreciate living n Israel is THE BIGGEST BONUS to therm .

Very difficult to release terrorists to the same fork tongued people. They are not to be trusted. Bless Israel and shalom for Jerusalem

peace deal first then let the prisoners out put the ball in the arabs corner , that to me makes sense

That is the way of HIS Word. I Quote - Netanyahu stresses: 'There is heavy price, but not entering talks also exacts price' Comment - The Way of HASHEM is always the Cheapest and most Secure Way. Israel has tryed all other Ways and always Lost, and will continue to do so untill there is Repentence to the Way of HASHEM. If one follows the Way of HASHEM, HE Is with You on Your Way. Arn.Sweden.

Demand a referendum for any release of murderers/terrorists. Let the citizens decide. REMOVE that decision from the hands of Israeli politicians FOREVER. Remove it from the hands of cynical and manipulative US presidents. Remove it from the hands of Pals "presidents" who themselves might be murderers. Let them think twice before making such a loathsome and despicable proposal. Bibi is not fit to make that decision. I really don't know what moral compass he is using, if any!!!!
